First drive: Rivian delivers the electric truck we’ve been waiting for

The 2022 Rivian R1T has a lot to like and some details to love

The Rivian R1T electric truck is neither too big nor small. It handles rock crawling and off-camber trails with ease, can zip from zero to 60 miles per hour on a dirt road in just a few seconds without the typical back-end slippage — although there is an option to provide that drifting effect — and it can crank through winding mountain roads, pushing the edge of each corner without body roll. It’s loaded with the kind of interior and exterior touches that put it firmly in the premium zone — and yet the Rivian R1T is no delicate flower. The company’s designers and engineers helped the truck steer clear of pretension by combining form and function from tip to tail. Some of the added surprises — the location of functional details like tie-downs, an air compressor and outlets — suggest that numerous Rivian employees tested the truck in real-world conditions, including camping, mountain biking and even more mundane tasks like grocery-fetching. To be clear, far more time and miles are required to provide a full review. Still, as a total package, the Rivian R1T impresses.

JupyterLab Desktop App — A Game Changer for Using Notebooks? Probably Not

Although major python IDEs (e.g., Visual Studio Code, PyCharm, and recently DataSpell) all support editing Jupyter Notebooks, JupyterLab is still my go-to IDE when I use notebooks for my data science projects. As an interactive IDE, JupyterLab allows us to visualize the data (e.g., tabular data, images) step by step in a cell-based organization.

Millennials Are Stressed out Because of the Pressure to Make a Lot of Money

We put so much pressure on ourselves as millennials. We want a six figure income, the love of our life, a successful entrepreneurial side hustle, to travel every few months, a stable gym routine, 7–8 hours of sleep, work/life balance and mental/emotional stability.

Why You Should Be Very Worried About The Supply Chain

In June, King Yuan Electronics Co, one of the world’s largest chip-testing companies, temporarily suspended operations due to COVID-19 infections at a factory in central Taiwan. The technology world was already struggling with supply chain issues at the time. This exacerbated the shortage of semiconductor chips which has been estimated to cost car manufacturers $210 billion in revenue this year alone. The White House acknowledges that this disruption could knock one full percentage point off the GDP, resulting in waves of shutdowns, and “hurt the hundreds of thousands of U.S. workers employed in manufacturing jobs across the automotive and heavy trucking sectors.”

How did Mars get its two “impossible” moons?

As far as we know, there are exactly three ways that a planet can wind up possessing one or more moons. The first way is from a circumplanetary disk, where the material that accrues around a proto-star not only fragments into planetesimals that grow and evolve, but that the largest proto-planets acquire their own disks of material around them, which leads to moons. This primarily applies to gas giants, and is likely responsible for most of the moons in the Jovian, Saturnian, and Uranian systems. The second way is through gravitational capture, which explains moons with bizarre orbital orientations and densities that don’t match up with the parent planet’s material. This applies to moons like Saturn’s Phoebe or Neptune’s Triton, which likely both originated from the Kuiper belt. And finally, the third way is through a major collision, which kicks up debris that coalesces into one or more natural satellites: the likely origin of not only Earth’s moon, but all of the moons of Pluto.

Enter quantum

Every once in a while, a convergence of knowledge, progress and will occurs, and changes the course of human history. I wholly believe we are on the cusp of this with quantum computing. Ironically not a leap, these moments are typically an accelerating continuum, where things seemingly disparate suddenly come together. People around the world have been working on different pieces of the puzzle; there’s a moment where the whole jigsaw comes into view. From democracy to understanding the evolution process, from fire to the internet, this has happened throughout our time on the planet. How extraordinary that humans get to live through multiple moments of this kind in a normal lifespan.
